| To follow the lame city trend of all things "farmhouse" |
The good thing about doing the over-done farmhouse table, is that I can basically just use a bunch of ripped down 2x6's and poly 'em. What does that translate to? cheap. Since I'm the last of the big spenders, it'll work for me.

| "Trestle"-style legs |
Now, the wife doesn't like the table legs. Which sucks because that's what I spent all my time on with this design! I have a love for all things complicated, what better way to help celebrate this unhealthy obsession than do a bunch of complicated joinery with some crappy wood?
Honestly, I want to make this out of super thick hardwood, like oak, chestnut or walnut. But its just going to cost too much. If I could come across a dumpster full of old framing lumber (in Philly, that's long leaf pine), I would glue them together and hand plane the top. But, I'm just not out digging in the trash much these days.

Anyway, for you people who studied architecture... the elevations*:
The goal is to have a dining room table by summer's end. Will it happen? I think so. Maybe if we count summer all the way to the official equinox.
